Black Series Deluxe Han Solo with Tauntaun Gallery

The Black Series backlog is starting to unclog and the next wave of Deluxe figures are hitting, specifically Deluxe wave 2 Han Solo with Tauntaun! This is yet another classic look for Han after his Episode IVstandard and Stormtrooper looks, this time from Empire in his Hoth gear. Oh yeah, he comes with a fully articulated Tauntaun as well. :). We’ve run him through the motions and did up 35 shots of him in action, check them out after the break courtesy of site sponsor Entertainment Earth!

This is a figure I’ve been waiting for since we saw him back at SDCC 2014. The set is worthy of the increased price point, you get a beefy articulated beast which is core to the original series, and a great representation of a main character. When you add in the Luke version that’s coming soon, along with some potential Snowtroopers, it should make for a really nice Empire based setup on the shelves. I get most excited about Black Series 6 inch when the focus in on the OT, and then specifically when it’s Ep IV and V. The Jedi stuff hasn’t quite sparked the fire as of yet, personally. This is a step in the right direction and really hope the Luke-Taun drops soon! Check out some key shots below and the full gallery after that!

My Bossk (as I mentioned on "look what I just got" thread) is improperly assembled. The stick in his torso joint is either too long or wasn't put together right so he stands a couple of centimeters higher than he should. It doesn't bother me and it's actually kind of neat that mine is taller since in almost anything but the movie Bossk is depicted as being closer to Vader's height. Even with the defect I'd still say Bossk is one of the best Black Series figures so far just as a toy. It helps that I've always liked Bossk second only to Boba as a bounty hunter.

Ditto. I snagged the last Stormtrooper from the local Target before it closed its doors forever. I agree: this Han looks better than regular Han.

Anecdotally, Black Series boxes seem to be a magnet for 'corner crush.' It doesn't matter if I purchase in-store or online: at least one corner will be crushed. I guess shipments get bashed bumped around quite a lot in transit. I look forward to the day when I purchase a figure and find the packaging undamaged.

I haven't had that issue, maybe it's just the people who ship and handle it in your area. It wouldn't be the first time that whoever delivers it in one area does a worse job than those in other places.

Is there missing articulation in the wrists on Han? I've heard complaints about missing articulation and size. I'll be picking up both sets the first time they go on sale or I get a coupon. They look good to me.

Yes, he has no wrist articulation. But does have a forearm swivel where the glove meets the coat. Not that big of a deal IMO, but I get why people would notice, I think most other if not all have had it.
